Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this season 832cm

Posted on Monday 21st March 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


Things are a bit nicer today than yesterday; there is still some fog (which looks to be clearing), and a light dusting of new snow, instead of the rain. It's still snowing very lightly, and there's the chance that it might clear later in the day. Not such a bad way to end a three-day weekend.


The reports are barely in, but I need to get out this morning! Snowshoeing, not skiing, but I'll be out in the woods, and that's always a good thing (especially with a lot of birds now back from their winter break).
